Ted Haggard No Longer Gay!

[donco6]

It has been more than three years since charismatic pastor Ted Haggard left his megachurch in disgrace, mired in a scandal involving drug use and a male prostitute. But the woman who stood by him says now that the experience has brought them closer together than ever.

“Our relationship is better than it’s ever been. Going over this mountain together has given me the marriage that I’ve always longed for,” Gayle Haggard told TODAY’s Meredith Vieira Wednesday in New York.

Gayle Haggard had come to discuss her new book, “Why I Stayed: The Choices I Made in My Darkest Hour.” Although the dilemma was painful, the answer, she writes, was simple: She loved her husband.

According to Ted, it was all about compulsions learned during some incident in childhood. He went to therapy and PRESTO! No More Gay!

So, how long do y'all give it this time?

1. Give it until he does the nasty, or give it until she finds out he's been doing it

all along these past 3 years?

[donco6]

2. I think you answered the question!

And I totally concur.

3. My guess

is that she already knows and is just become part of the charade. There's too much riding on her playing along, so she will keep up the act, along with him, so they can keep the lifestyle and position in their narrow minded little world.

[donco6]

5. Yes.

That degree from Bob Jones U. doesn't go far in the real world.

4. Reminds me of the new season of "Big Love".

Alby the polygamists' probable new prophet is a closet gay and married as well to a woman. His boyfriend is trying to go straight by attending Mormon church self-help groups for getting out the gay. Really, shows the hypocrisy in the religious stand on this.

7. I keep hearing about that show.

I'll have to start watching. If I ever get a chance.

6. Condolences to the legions of gay men out there...

... who were hoping to reel in such a marvelous catch as Ted. :cry:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

9. he was never really gay, he was an MSM at best. now he is a closeted MSM

and also a liar

[Fearless]

10. Ooooh... I can say things too.... Hey I'm straight now! ...See how easy that was...

:eyes:

[reynolds1863]

12. Straight now.

Denial will catch up with him sooner or later. Let's see how the whole "Ex-gay" I can pray my way out of something biological goes for him.

[Fearless]

13. Indeed. And welcome to DU...

:hi:

[closeupready]

15. Straight as a three dollar bill.

[Deep13]

17. A liar married to an idiot. nt

[Tailormyst]

18. I know he is a jerk but I do pity him

How horrible to hate who you are that much, surrounded by others who hate who you are that much.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

19. yes, i pity him too

[donco6]

20. I really don't have any pity for him.

He knows exactly what he's doing. It's all about being able to make money. He can't be a pastor again until he's "licked" his problem!

[caitxrawks]

21. i call bullshit.

He's fruitier than a nutcake.
